　　後高清時代的香港攝影群像

　　攝影涵蓋我們生活的點線面，它更可在不同平臺，如印刷、網際網路、藝術館等提供交流訊息作用。香港踏入高清視訊廣播已近一年，畫質的提升改變大眾閱讀影像的習慣：高解像寬螢幕電視宛如一幅巨大攝影作品讓我們更專注構圖每一細節，整套增強眼球活動的觀賞行為逆轉了視頻廣播的線性時空，把流光逝影凝固成一獨立靜止畫面。這潛移默化的視覺鑒賞經驗將會帶動沉寂的藝術攝影作正面發展，在迎向後高清時代蒞臨之際，我們要承先啟後，由認識香港當代攝影著眼。

　　《影像當代香港攝影展》從歷史脈絡及攝影多樣的風格和形式取向，展出當代四十多位最傑出及活躍的本地攝影和新媒體藝術家所表達的香港影像，約一百五十幅作品，範疇包括紀實、報導、肖像、概念、混合、裝置和新媒體。此展覽取材有關香港本土近六十年不同議題，包括城市保育、舊區貧民、街頭抓拍、消費文化、政治生態和私攝影等，以多元的視覺語言使觀眾從嶄新的方法及媒介去了解身處之地，借著係譜形式有秩序整理藝術家想像中的香港面貌，進而提高市民對香港的感知而引發民間更大創意。

　　與亞洲其他國家相比，姍姍來遲的香港藝術攝影剛踏進青年期，正處於選擇前途的焦慮當中；《影像當代香港攝影展》博覽群像、集思廣益，盼能呈現一個開放式的分類圖譜供日後研究。近期的金融海嘯把大部分財産席捲一空，回歸儉樸恰巧是參予文化活動的良辰，讓我們以擊浪青春的姿態擁抱那未知的時代！

　　Hong Kong Photography in the Post Hi-Definition Era

　　The versatility of photography in our daily lives will further enhance within the Hi-Definition television broadcast; there is a propensity for us to freeze-frame hyper sharp video as single photographs, paying attention to image details apart from the script delivered. These subconscious activities leading to better connoisseurship of still photographic image will rekindle the recent stagnated development of Art Photography in Hong Kong. It is vital to acknowledge the history of this specific art practice before embrace ourselves into the upcoming era.

　　“Imaging Hong Kong: Contemporary Photography Exhibition” offers a clear picture of Hong Kong Art Photography development. With over 40 photographers and 150 works about our city since the middle of last century, it includes various aspects of photography from social documentary, photo-journalism, portraitures, conceptual art, photo installation to the mixed and new media. Thematic explorations of Hong Kong from past 60 years in the areas of urban renewal, poor people from old regions, snap shooting, consumerism, politics and subjective photography are categorized and addressed. This exhibition highlights the artistic imagination of Hong Kong from selected calibers; it is hoped the exhibits will enlighten the public’s interest to our social environment and encourage their passion to photographic practices or appreciation in the near future.

　　Visual Arts Thematic Exhibition 08/09 Project

　　“Imaging Hong Kong- Contemporary Photography Exhibition” is the third exhibition project of the “Visual Arts Thematic Exhibition Project” series, which is co-presented by PH5 Photo Group, Edge Architects, Hong Kong Press Photographers Association and The Photocrafters. “Visual Arts Thematic Exhibition Project” is a large-scale visual arts activity presented by Hong Kong Arts Development Council and Leisure and Cultural Department.
